Artistic Production as a Modality for Political Action: A Manifesto
Abstract:
Based on Olivia Wiederkehr’s Manifesto and a manuscript of a discussion in Basel between Olivia Wiederkehr, Sabine Gebhardt Fink, and Patricia Bianchi in 2018, we developed this manifesto. We understand this text as a score for a collective action in the public sphere. It addresses our current understanding of artistic production; we imagine this action as a modality with a political as well as an aesthetical effect. An action as production of a social space – addressing new materialities such as gender roles.
